COMBINED TRAVELERS DRINKING-CUP AND SHAVING- MU G.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 693,959, dated. February 25, 1902.

Application filed May 23, 1901. Serial No. 61,545- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES FINLE Y, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indianapolis, in the county of Marion and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Travelers Drinking-Cup and Shaving-Mug, of which the following is a specification.

My said invention consists in certain improvements in a telescopic or collapsible drinking-cup with a soap-box fitted Within the bottom thereof, whereby the same may beconverted into a shaving-mug when desired and at the same time remain in condition for its original use, as will be hereinafter more particularly described and claimed.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, which are made a part hereof, and on which similar reference characters indicate similar parts, Figure 1 is a central vertical sectional view of my combined drinking-cup and shaving-mug with the cup portion raised or extended in position for use, the soap-box being also in position therein, Fig. 2, a central vertical sectional view of the device when closed and with a cover thereon; and Fig. 3, a top or plan View of the device in the condition shown in Fig. 1, except that the soap-box cover is also removed, thus showing the device in condition for use as a shaving-mug.

The outer portion of this device is composed of a bottom 10, several telescopic rings 11, 12, 13, and 14, and a cover 15. So far this is not dissimilar to the ordinary collapsible drinking-cup generally used. Within the bottom ring 11, however, I place a soap-box 16, hav- 7 ing a tight cover 17. This box I prefer to make removable in order that the drinkingcup may be used separately when desired.

20th day of May, A. D. 1901.

the device can be used as a drinking-cup without removing the soap-box if necessity requires, as in cases of extreme haste sometimes necessitated by military exigencies or other similar conditions where the greatest possible economy of time is essential.

My improved combined drinking-cup and shaving-mug, as will be understood from the foregoing description, is designed especially for the use of persons in the military and naval service, huntsmen, fishermen, explorers, travelers, and the like, with whom economy of space and time is of great importance.

Having thus fully described my said invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A combined collapsible cup and shaving mug consisting of the telescopic rings and bot tom, with a compartment in'the bottom section provided with a tight cover, which will protect the contents of said compartment After the box is in place, with a suitable quan- 4o when the cup is used, and which may be removed to bring the contents of said compartment into free access from the top of said cup, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at Indianapolis, Indiana, this CHARLES FINLEY. Witnesses:

O. S. FRYE, L. H. OOLVIN.
